• Join efforts in building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment that you’d support every day, both at the team level and organizational level.
• Create and drive forward projects and process changes in order to streamline and innovate application processes.
• Understand and “own” complex processes to ensure we are able to serve students in many unique situations.
• Participate in launches for new academic/employer partners (help create a seamless application process for new students and address areas of opportunity).
• Create and manipulate data from SFDC and Looker to drive strategic change.
• Create relationships and be a resource for different teams with questions about the application process.

• Are flexible and willing to step in for the good of the team and good of the process
• Advocate for, plan, and execute process improvements that are scalable and students-first
• Have a habit of proactively finding work to do and asking for more responsibilities
